the world is at stake

Those who can work can get enough food, and those who can't work can only get limited supplies. Children must rely on their parents to survive; widows and lonely people must rely on their children or themselves.

On the first day of this social practice, more than 200 villagers provided more than 1000 qualified bamboos to the bridge construction site.The next day, after they got enough tools, they cut double the amount of bamboo.

The temporary pontoon bridge of more than 50 meters thus obtained enough building materials, and the construction was completed in five days - such a speed made the 'Holy Light' team very satisfied. Although the high-pressure policy was a bit cruel, it was effective.

For the surrounding villages, Nanwan Village has changed.This impoverished village can actually have enough food in the winter, and everyone wears thick winter clothes.

It's literally the sun coming out of the west.

The news that I just heard shocked other villages—Nanwan Village was completely swallowed up by Xinhua Village, and the ancestral halls and ancestral graves in the village were all dug up.Those in charge in the village either died or fled, and the rest... were actually triumphant.

Just because I can eat enough.

"Is this true?"

Opposite to Nanwan Village, a few miles away in Beiwan Village, Zheng Dashan, who also has the surname Zheng, was pacing back and forth in his courtyard.His housekeeper just went to inquire about the news, and came back to confirm the facts.

Compared with the side branches in Nanwan, Beiwan considers itself the main house with the surname Zheng.Its village has a population of over a thousand, and it is one of the few local snakes nearby.

Ordinarily it is said that 'a strong dragon does not suppress a local snake', but knowing that the side branches of the clan were all wiped out, Zheng Dashan only felt his scalp go numb.

He was the man who talked to 'Wan Gong' a few days ago, and he originally wanted to call the forces around Qinglong Town to strike first.Unexpectedly, the sea friends mentioned by 'Wan Gong' would not come for a long time, but the rebels from Xinhua Village did it instead.

"The remaining clansmen in Nanwan are unwilling to flee?" Zheng Dashan was very puzzled, "The rebels destroyed the ancestral hall and demolished the ancestral graves, such a shameful humiliation, how can they bear it?"

The housekeeper who went to inquire stomped his feet and sighed, "Master, it is true. Those who could escape have fled to our Beiwan, and the rest not only did not escape, but feel that they are doing well now. The Xinhua rebels give food and drink, and their My mind changed."

"Just give them food and drink?" Zheng Dashan was even more furious, "These unscrupulous people recognize the thief as their father and serve as the minion of a tiger. They don't want to be recorded in the family tree in the future, and what is recorded will be crossed out."

genealogy?How can the poor ghosts of the Punjabi still care about the family tree?They are fighting against the labor rules formulated by the 'Holy Light', trying their best to eat more and occupy more.

Cai Xuebin, who is the secretary-general, thinks every day about how to formulate better fascist rules, which not only stimulate the vitality of laborers, but also prevent those who steal, rape and play tricks from taking advantage of them—and finally found that the 996 system is quite good.

Capitalists have undergone hundreds of years of iterative evolution, and the management system for squeezing the labor potential of employees is very complete, and it is completely sufficient to extract part of it to manage the current farmers.

Seeing that Zheng Dashan was anxious, the housekeeper said in a low voice: "Master, the matter in Nanwan is not serious, but the Xinhua rebels have come up with something new."

"Is there any strange thing that can't appear?" Zheng Dashan was also annoyed.The Xinhua rebels come up with something that he can't see through every now and then, and every time it disturbs him, he is restless.

"There is a newly built sawmill in Xinhua Village, which can use the water of Wusong River to saw wood. I sneaked over to see it, it's really amazing.

What kind of gear is washed by the water, and what kind of flywheel is driven, and finally the force is concentrated on the saw blade to move back and forth.Giant logs with a diameter of two feet at breast height can also be sawed.This is much easier than manpower. "

What kind of trouble-saving, fast, precise, Zheng Dashan was very angry when he heard it, "An anti-thief is an anti-thief, strange skills and ingenuity, not a way. There is a way for them to compare poetry and books with me."

The housekeeper bowed his head, and muttered in his heart, "Master, you have only taken the county examination once, so you can be regarded as a child at most. You are not even considered a scholar. You are really better than poetry and books, and you may not be better than those gangsters."

It's just that the words can't come out, and the butler still counts on the master to come up with an idea.

Zheng Dashan has nothing to do, after all, the rebels in Xinhua Village are getting stronger and stronger.He is also not happy about head-to-head.

While in distress, the concierge came in from the outside and announced: "Master, there is a guest outside, who claims to be the master's 'friend from the sea', and was introduced by Master Wan."

Friends at sea?Well done!

"God help me too." Zheng Dashan was overjoyed when he heard the words, "Quick, please come in."

Chapter 12

"Xiao Zhou, I want to criticize you."

At night, the Standing Committee of the 'Holy Light' held an enlarged meeting as usual, and Academician Li made comments to Zhou Qingfeng.

"Don't keep yelling 'fascist' and 'fascist', it's wrong. We are 'socialism', a kind of collective economy, to strengthen discipline and concentrate our efforts to accomplish big things.

The means are cruel and the situation is grim, but the essence is still to serve the people.

You yell 'Fascist' every day, which makes my heart tremble.Old Xiao, you don't care about him.I have been dreaming for the past two days, always thinking that I have become a 'Nazi' and will leave the SS tomorrow. "

It would be great to be out of the SS.

As soon as Academician Li stopped talking, Zhou Qingfeng wanted to argue.Sitting beside him, Qin Qing stabbed him, and said in a low voice, "You're a dog that can't spit out ivory, so shut up."

Academician Li is the oldest in the current team.When she raised her opinion, Xiao Jinlang could only stare at Zhou Qingfeng, "Indeed, the word 'fascist' is not good. We are concentrating power, not extreme power, and the line must be correct."

Lao Xiao downplayed it and exposed the matter.He continued to report, "For half a month, our business is proceeding step by step, and various tasks have made great progress.

After social investigations and practical attempts, it can basically be determined that the "collective society" based on the "ratio system" plus "labor rewards" is the most suitable for the current status quo and our governance capabilities. "

This is the summary of the renovation of 'Nanwan Village'.

Before the transformation, there were 274 people in 'Nanwan', and 247 people after the transformation.Among them, 131 are full-time workers, 40 are part-time workers, and the rest are old, weak, sick and disabled.

"It can be said that this is a very successful transformation, and a lot of sedimentary resources have been recycled." Lao Xiao couldn't talk about digging up graves and demolishing houses, so he coined a new word 'sedimentary resources'.

"Although Nanwan Village is small, it has existed for more than a hundred years, and there were big families in the early years. The bricks and bricks recovered this time exceeded 10 yuan, large timber was [-] yuan, furniture, cloth, silver, and large livestock.

More than 70.00% of the population in this village are poor peasants who do not have any means of production and even rent houses.The remaining 30.00% are middle peasants who can barely afford food and clothing.There are only two rich peasant households in the whole village, and there are no landlords.

Facts have proved that the villages with this kind of property structure can be boldly transformed with very little resistance.After redistribution of housing, land and means of production, the villagers are very supportive of us, and they are more active than us in digging up graves and demolishing houses. "

"By the way, we confiscated five sows that could give birth in Nanwan Village, and hundreds of chickens and ducks.

The agricultural group said that the number of chickens and ducks currently raised has exceeded [-], but there is a shortage of feed.Otherwise, each team member can be provided with one egg every two days, half for skilled workers, and some egg soup for apprentices and peripheral personnel. "

The population of Xinhua Village has exceeded one thousand, and they eat and drink a lot every day, requiring a lot of meat.In order to ensure the health of the physical labor in winter, the logistics team works extremely intensively.

The chickens and ducks in more than a dozen surrounding villages were almost eaten up by Xinhua Village.

Cai Xuebin of the grain store has already sent people to go to further villages and towns by boat to purchase - at this time, he will find that the production efficiency in ancient times is too low, and the supplies that can be provided are really limited.

"The good news is that after recovering the sedimentary resources of Nanwan Village, our first phase of the new village expansion project can be completed on time. The housing of [-] apprentices and hired workers is guaranteed, and we can even help Nanwan to renovate a number of dilapidated houses."

If you want to control more population, you must solve the minimum housing.Plants to climb the technology tree are also indispensable, as are infrastructures such as canals and bridges to develop productivity.

"By the end of the month, the population of Xinhua Village, which accommodates Nanwan Village, will officially exceed [-]. There will be more division of labor in the village, construction will be temporarily suspended, and internal strength will be majored to advance education and management."

Xiao Jinlang's words set the tone - the 99 people in the main team controlled 1000 villagers, and the management ability was at its limit.Before training the next level of cadres, the expansion of the team slowed down and the existing site was stabilized.

"Xiao Zhou, today a businessman sent someone to send a greeting card, saying that he will visit tomorrow. You go and see him." Xiao Jinlang said and handed Zhou Qingfeng a red sticker.

The visitor's name was written in large characters on the sticker. His surname was Jiang, from Huating. He was born as a scholar.He heard that Xinhua Village wanted to purchase hardwood, iron materials, charcoal, cotton cloth, paper, pen and ink, etc., so he came to pay a visit.

Songjiang Prefecture currently has two counties, and the government is located in Huating County.

Shanghai County is divided from the northeast part of Huating.Because the tidal flats at the estuary of the Yangtze River continue to extend to the sea, the name of Shanghai in later generations has overshadowed Huating.

Now Huating is where the prefecture is located, where merchants gather and the culture is flourishing.Xu Jie, the famous Chief Assistant of the Ming Dynasty, was from Huating.When Hai Rui dealt with the powerful in Jiangnan, he also dealt with the Xu family in Huating.

Zhou Qingfeng glanced at the greeting post and asked, "Has our influence reached Fucheng?"

"Huating is not far from Qinglong Town, and a lot of goods purchased in the village are transported from Huating waterway. The merchants there have long been spreading a lot of anecdotes about us."

Old Xiao laughed and shook his head again: "At the end of the Ming Dynasty, officials and businessmen were not separated. What the businessman surnamed Jiang wants to do still needs to be observed. It may not be well-intentioned."

While the team was discussing, the businessman surnamed Jiang walked into the gate of Mr. Zheng Dashan in Beiwan Village with a few entourages.The two sides exchanged handshakes and greeted each other, one said that they had admired each other for a long time, and the other said that the younger brother was abrupt, and they laughed at each other.

"Young Master Jiang is here, but you pass by Xinhua Village?" Zheng Dashan offered some tea and sighed frowningly, "The thieves in that village have already become powerful, so it's hard to deal with them."

"I have seen it, it really opened my eyes."

Mr. Jiang was dressed as a scholar, in his thirties, with a gentle appearance, if it wasn't for the vicious faces of a few followers behind him, he would have thought he was a rich man from the city.

"I came by boat and made a deal with Xinhua Village on the way. I sold [-] bolts of cotton cloth to it." Mr. Jiang pointed to the baggage carried by a follower behind him, "I earned a bag of silver coins and came back."

Zheng Dashan was worried immediately, "Young Master Jiang has been duped. The silver coins of the rebels look beautiful, but they are not enough. They are extremely despicable. The more you sell, the more you will profit."

"Indeed." Mr. Jiang said indifferently, "When I first saw it, I was extremely surprised. I have never seen carvings on coins. But after weighing it again, I was very annoyed, and the weight was obviously insufficient.

Just thinking deeply, there have never been such exquisite coins on the market, and some of them are worth a lot.Looking at the many strange skills and ingenuities in Xinhua Village, it is the best in the world, which makes my heart itchy.

To tell you the truth, brother Zheng, among my uncle's relatives, there are also officials in the imperial court. From time to time, things from the palace are passed around and presented to my family.

The porcelain, lacquerware, jade, and jewelry in the palace are all made by master craftsmen, and exquisite ones abound.But in terms of value and output, it is really not as strong as Xinhua Village.

When the ship was moored at Xinhua Wharf, I heard the sound of the sawmill. I ran to have a look, and felt that there is nothing more beautiful in the world than this.I can think of sawing wood with water power, without labor, and without rest day and night. This thing is exactly what I need.

A ship at sea is subject to wind and waves, and teak, lychee, and iron wood must be used if it is to be strong.But teak and the like are as tough as iron.

The most tiring thing about running shipbuilding in the next family is cutting and sawing wood.If you can saw wood with water power, the effect can be multiplied several times.

Its hydraulic mill is also very useful. It does not use animal power and runs naturally, which is like a treasure for farmers.If you can get it, it is easy to make a fortune. "

Speaking of excitement, Mr. Jiang danced and danced regardless of being in someone else's house.Even the faces of the stout attendants behind him glowed, as if thinking of some strange scene, they were excited beyond imagination.

"With the coincidence of coins and the power of sawing wood, such a master craftsman nestled in a Xinhua village is too condescending. I have traded today, and I have already handed over invitations to the village. I will go to see the person in charge tomorrow."

Hearing that Mr. Jiang wanted the craftsmen of Xinhua Village, Zheng Dashan was slandering - if you want the craftsmen of the rebels, I want them too.If they can get the essence of the coinage, wouldn't the Zheng family also be able to play the trick of 'one yuan for one tael'?

But when he heard that Mr. Jiang was going to pay a visit to the Xinhua rebels, Zheng Dashan asked anxiously again: "Brother, why is this? Do you still want to make friends with the thieves?"

Mr. Jiang smiled slyly, "How do you know the details if you don't make friends? How do you know who the craftsmen are? How many? Are there any apprentices? Are there any classics?

I have always done things first and then soldiers. If I can hire people with money, it will save a lot of trouble.If the rebels in Xinhua Village don't give in, there are naturally tricks to deal with them. "

Zheng Dashan sneered in his heart, and thought to himself: "The management and supervision of Xinhua Village are as strict as a military camp. I have thought about your trick a long time ago. If you can succeed, why would you ask you to help?

I sent people to spy more than a dozen times, and even sent servants to the village to apply for employment, but all failed.Until now, even how many rebels there are, and the exact name of the leader has not been clarified.

On the other hand, the gang of rebels had scoured around and found out more than a dozen nearby villages. Even Qinglong Town and Shanghai County had nothing to hide from them.If you think that rebels are easy to deal with, then you are very wrong. "

But Mr. Jiang is going to touch it, and Zheng Dashan will follow, maybe we can get some news.He just arranged for the guests to stay and waited and watched.

In the same night, at 09:30, the night study in Xinhua Village ends.The selected hired apprentices bowed to thank the 'master' who taught them knowledge, and left the temporary classroom.

The "master" in the village is in urgent need of reliable helpers, so he is waiting for the construction of the dormitory and school buildings, and picks [-] local young people for off-the-job training.

The team hopes to instill basic Chinese and mathematics knowledge within three months, so that they can have basic abilities such as listening, speaking, reading, writing, and computational reasoning.

The success of the training of this group of people is related to the expansion speed of the team in the next three years.For those who participate in the training, their academic performance is related to their success in life.

But now the conditions are poor, and not every 'lord' has time for education.Wang Xiaomei came out of the office of the construction team in the village, clutching a few sheets of thin homework paper tightly in her hands, as if she was holding on to her life.

Wang Xiaomei was sold to Nanwan Village as a child bride-in-law when she was six years old. She consummated her house at the age of 13, and her husband was an eight-year-old snot-nosed child.Her greatest ability is to observe words and actions, and to be agile.

My husband's family is also poor and has no extra food to support them.The father-in-law and mother-in-law face a miserable life, have a bad temper, and are easily blamed.If she is a little negligent, her in-laws will whip her up with a stick, and even her little husband will try to torture her.

When Zheng Wusi took someone to chop bamboo in the winter, the in-laws only thought that this person was gone in the family, and pushed Wang Xiaomei to die.She gritted her teeth and dragged a branched bamboo pole to the construction site, and fainted as soon as she vented her strength.

It was Gao Zhen from the construction team who looked pitiful, sent her to the fire to warm her up, and fed her a few mouthfuls of hot meat porridge to restore her strength.

The meat porridge was boiled rotten, with wild onions and salt sprinkled in it, which was specially used to supplement nutrition for heavy physical labor—otherwise, a bunch of malnourished laborers would die of exhaustion if they did heavy work in winter.

The moment Wang Xiaomei woke up, she instinctively realized that "Master Gao" was the key to her survival, and all her thoughts revolved around Gao Zhen.

Other laborers are also smart, but few have the high tension of the child bride-in-law—Wang Xiaomei can turn her back to Gao Zhen, and just listen to his breathing, footsteps, and even cough to know what to do next.

By the way, Xiaomei Wang was named by Gao Zhen.She only knows her last name is 'Wang'.When people call her on weekdays, it's either a 'Hi' or someone's wife.

Because of Wang Xiaomei's cleverness and well-behaved, when Zheng Wusi came to say that she was going to "dip her in a pig cage", Gao Zhen was furious.

The construction team makes the most use of local human resources, but is also subject to various constraints.At first glance, they are all human beings, but they are actually subject to many personal constraints and cannot be used effectively.

That night, Gao Zhen strongly pushed for the compulsory transformation of Nanwan Village.His original words were, "The local feudal ideology must be eradicated as soon as possible, and the poor and lower-middle peasants must be liberated.

Wang Xiaomei didn't know the story behind this, she only knew that she was able to eat enough for the first time in her life.Some people treated her kindly, tailored clothes for her, treated her illnesses and recuperated her injuries, and taught her knowledge.

Even if you do something wrong, you will not be beaten.If you can understand the master's intentions in a short time, you will be rewarded—although it is often just a smiling face.But usually who would smile generously at a child bride?

So what is digging up graves and demolishing houses?Wang Xiaomei felt so happy.She wished she could tear down the entire Nanwan Village and clean up all the people who bullied her.

But Wang Xiaomei soon discovered that the masters didn't want to avenge her, but simply used human and material resources. Teaching her to read and write also valued her agility and intelligence.

No problem, the master feeds and clothes, what the master says is what—infighting?Compete for favor?Intrigue?The master doesn't want to see these things, so he wants a group of useful tools.

So what if the old man is strict?No matter how strict, can there be a strict in-law who scolds at will?Could there be a village elder Yan who would dip people into pig cages at every turn?Can there be social strictures that drive people to a corner?

In the eyes of many poor people, life in Xinhua Village is free and easy, and they can laugh out loud.

Walking in the cold wind, Wang Xiaomei tightly held the bound homework book in her hand——Gao Zhen was free, so he personally taught her to write and count, and corrected her homework with charcoal pencils.

There are five or six girls behind Wang Xiaomei. Most of them have similar fates. They are all in their teens and grew up in bitter water.They hurried across the village streets to their makeshift dormitory, the village's central kitchen hall.

The wooden table for eating was put together, covered with quilts and straw pillows.More than twenty girls will be crowded on top.Before going to bed, they can also eat steamed buns and pickles to nourish their bodies.After eating, I brushed my teeth and rinsed my mouth, and quickly undressed and went to bed.

At ten o'clock at night, the bronze bell in the village will ring, which is an important achievement of the mechanical group - accurate mechanical watches cannot be popularized, and the establishment of the concept of time depends on the bronze bell.

The oil lamps will be extinguished at regular intervals, and then the footsteps of night watchmen can be heard—every night, a master of the military team organizes fixed and mobile sentries to ensure the safety of the village inside and outside.

In just a few days, Wang Xiaomei can tell which master is on patrol just by the sound of footsteps. Every time she hears their sonorous and powerful voices, she feels very at ease.

A group like Wang Xiaomei is determined to go with the gentlemen, what kind of etiquette and clan, patriarchal power and husbandly power, all die and go.She meditated on what she did during the day and the arrangements for tomorrow, recalled what she had learned, and wrote silently in her heart.

According to what Gao Zhen said - as long as you maintain this state of study, you will definitely become a talent, you will definitely be able to get rid of your status as a slave, and you can be a serious person.

How difficult it is to be a human being!
